    Yet another HDMI port repair question :)

    Hey there, I've received a Phat PS4 for free with the backstory that the HDMI port is faulty and will need to be desoldered and replaced. They've also included a replacement HDMI port, which means I'm almost ready to go. :) A Google search led me to this article which covers carrying out the...

    Hardware Phat PS3 (cech-g03) Immediate RLOD & Triple Beep

    Another update, I got as far as successfully flashing the NOR on my replacement PS3 with the HDD method. Truly simplicity! My problem is that when I attempt to download the CFW from the Rebug site, all I get is a tiny zip file with a text document and not the PUP file. Am I doing something...

    Hardware Phat PS3 (cech-g03) Immediate RLOD & Triple Beep

    Ok, I didn't copy my saves, annoying on my part but it's not the end of the world and it's a lesson learned for the future. I came across a post on here that claimed CFW causes PS3's to overheat, especially the older models. Is this accurate or just scaremongering?

    Hardware Phat PS3 (cech-g03) Immediate RLOD & Triple Beep

    Update... I bit the bullet and bought another Phat. At least if I need parts in the future, the RLOD PS3 might be of some use. :) Depending upon the firmware status, I'll either go straight to CFW on the replacement or Ps3xploit and then CFW. What would you advise as the best way to get my PSN...

    Hardware Phat PS3 (cech-g03) Immediate RLOD & Triple Beep

    Hi everyone, as soon as I press the power button, my PS3 immediately displays the RLOD and emits the triple beep. If this is happening without the unit fully powering up, does this mean that the problem is serious? Any advice or pointers you can offer will appreciated because this is not a...

    Tutorial How to install the latest Rebug CFW

    Thank you! After following your instructions I was up and running with Rebug within minutes. I'd spent ages faffing around reading endless tutorials and watching YouTube videos that did nothing but confuse me. If only I'd come here much sooner... :)

    Hacking NOOB PARADISE - ask away

    I know that you can use Neogamma to play imports but can it run backups of your imports too? I've spent several hours searching with Google trying to track down a solid answer for this and I couldn't find anything that confirmed yes or no. Any info you can give me would be appreciated.

    Hmmmm probably because historically its in our nature to invade territories and old habits die hard.

    A newcomer!

    Hi everyone! Just wanted to introduce myself, I'm from London and I've been gaming since the days of the Atari Pong clones (for those who remember that far back!). Right now I'm working abroad but right before I left, I picked up a Wii and I'm looking forward to tinkering with it when I...
